I haven't seen this video on the itgetsbetter.org front page. Yes, it's discoverable on youtube, but you also need to submit it on the following page: http://www.itgetsbetter.org/page/s/submit-a-videoThat way you get more views.

PS! I'm fine, but I've been a busy bee lately. So no spare time for myself, only for school. To sum up, I'm taking it easy: going to see Weekend (by Andrew Haigh) - first time I've got the courage to actually go to a cinema where a gay love story is told; taking part in extracurricular activities. More or less I've understood that I am me. And the only way to live happily, is to love myself. That's my agenda.

Many thanks, Elevencats, for providing me with the link to the submit-a-video page at It Gets Better. I appreciate it. Anything to give my video a better chance to be viewed and to help as many as possible.

As always, it's wonderful to hear from you and to be brought up to date on how you're doing. You seem to be in a good place, extending yourself into the community by taking in a gay movie and other activities.

Yes, you are indeed you, and, believe me, you are more than good enough. And, yes, you've heard my message loud and clear: love yourself. That's the only way. You know it, and I know it.

Never hesitate to write me and to let me know how you're doing and what you're up to. I think about you all the time, hoping all is well. You're a special young man, and you have so much going for you. Never forget that, okay?

Simon, I hadn't seen this video in nearly three years. It still made me cringe when I watched it today, to remind myself of what I said. I hate looking at myself in pictures, but especially in videos. Doesn't seem like it's me (or, at least, not how I necessarily want to project myself), but I guess it is.

At any rate, I really appreciate your kind words. As I said in the video, I didn't want to put one out there unless I felt I had something constructive to add. I know the three suggestions I made really helped me, so I hoped they might help someone else too. I haven't heard from anyone about the video in a long time, so its value might be limited. But that's what I have to offer in terms of the "It Gets Better" program.

About Me

I'm a 58-year-old writer, who lives in Metro Vancouver, and I've been in a loving, committed, and monogamous relationship with a wonderful man for twenty-five years.
While I've used my blog to write on different subjects over the past years, currently, you'll find the majority of posts about my relationship with Chris; my experience as a gay man; and self-esteem as it relates to gay people.
My intention is to help you on your journey to become a fully-realized gay or lesbian person. I hope you find something here that resonates with you, and you'll come back often. Please leave a comment on any post that interests you or send me an email. I want to hear what you have to say.
